re: How did most C-Suite Execs get to that position?

There is one common theme, they all grabbed the brass ring when it swung their way. I think it takes a little luck to get noticed, but once you do, you have to make the most of the opportunity. It's not my scene, I never did play the corporate "groupthink" game. If I was asked a question, I answered it, and some people didn't like my answers. So be it.
